Susan George To Play 1066 Queenhttp://www.imdb.com/news/ni1382931/Straw Dogs star Susan George is to play a ruthless medieval matriarch in a new British movie chronicling the Battle of Hastings.

The actress has joined Oliver! star Mark Lester in 1066. She'll play Queen Emma in the historical epic, which is being directed by Robin Jacob.

Jacob tells WENN, "We are extremely happy to announce Susan’s attachment to 1066. She is a tremendously versatile actress who will bring a wealth of experience to the demanding role of Queen Emma, who was the powerful and sometimes ruthless wife of no less than two Kings of England - Aethlered 'The Unready' and the conquering Dane King Knut.

"It is very reassuring to know that Queen Emma is in such safe hands."
